PERFECT PERFUME: B BALENCIAGA.

Balenciaga is a French fashion house founded by Cristóbal Balenciaga, a Spanish designer, born in the Basque Country, Spain. He had a reputation as a couturier of uncompromising standards and was referred to as "the master of us all" by Christian Dior. His bubble skirts and odd, feminine, yet ultra-modern shapes were trademarks of the house. The House of Balenciaga is now owned by the French multinational company Kering. Balenciaga's current Creative Director is Alexander Wang.

It was recently announced that Balenciaga is releasing a fragrance this fall. The fragrance, called B Balenciaga, has been in the works since Wang became creative director in December of 2012, and the "woody" fragrance will have notes of lily of the valley, violet green leaves accord, cedarwood and more. The bottle is modern and architectural, with cracked, frosted glass that's inspired by the marble floors in Balenciaga’s original salon in Paris.
